Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Yeah tell me all about it..." he told her. He sensed something troubling her and wandered what it was. He'd have Axel and Kai give him a full report on the shinobis of the other villages, for that was the mission he had assigned Axel on before he left, to find out as much information on the up and coming chuunins.

Zane couldn't help but laugh at the thought of someone actually calling Cherry a b***h. "Listen Cherry, one of the definitions of a b***h is a woman who is extremely difficult, stubborn, overbearing, or even unpleasant. It has nothing to do with what your clan has trained you to be, it's just how you are. I do not think you are a b***h, though at times your stubborness is rather difficult to deal with," Zane explained to her. "I don't think he even knew the actual meaning of the word..." he chuckled once more. "I don't think visiting Suna would be a good idea since they are probably extremely wary of travelers and I don't want any of the shinobis going there since I don't know what they'll do to you...sorry but I don't trust the sand shinobis," he told her frankly.

"I see, well I'm sorry but like I said, it wouldn't be safe for us to associate ourselves with the sand shinobi," he sighed. "So anything else interesting happened at the exams?"

"Well I could have told you that he didn't hate you...Cherry, no one here in mist hates you," he told her. "They may find you annoying, or rather bothersome at times, but they don't hate you," he teased her. "And a chimera huh? Didn't think those things were real..."

"Well...mostly because we find it hilarious that someone called you that and you didn't instantly roast them, that and the fact that though you are not a b***h...you can be a bit difficult at times," he told her as he kissed her on the forehead yet again. "I still love you though," he reminded her as he had an almost childlike grin on his face.

"And that's the reason why I never want to get on your bad side," he told her. He was so happy to have everyone back in the village. Though Sosay was able to keep him company, it just wasn't the same. And not to mention the little talk with the village council. He did not want to accept the role as Kage originally, but he honestly had no other choice. He wouldn't be able to trust anyone to be Kage...especially with what had happened with Cherry during the prescense of Sachoi. "So...I'm trying to get this whole Kage thing down and wondering what I should do next...but I can't really mobilize the shinobis until I get the results from the exams," he sighed, wondering what exactly it is that he should be doing as kage.

"Hmm...raise moral...?" he said as he just got an idea. "Thanks to Sachoi we're not on good terms with Leaf or Sound...and thanks to Dante, and me...we're not on good terms with Sand. Or at least until they find out that I was the one that made the attack on them. So that leaves Cloud," he stated simply. An alliance with Cloud might just be something that they need. "How about a party at the Sakubatsu dojo? Everyone will be invited to join to celebrate the results of the exams...what do you think?"
